Feb. 5, 2025 — Physicists measured how readily a current of electron pairs flows through 'magic-angle' graphene, a major step toward understanding how this unusual ...

A carbon ring opens at a double bond to create a polymer chain that grows as each functional polymer unit directly slips in, conserving the material. The plastic additive also helps control the ...

The clear advantage of low material cost and broad absorption window leads to the potential for plastic depolymerization. It is worth noting that the term “photothermal” can have different meanings in ...
